RPM vs Torque, I, Mech HP, Eff, and Fp of an Induction Motor

AI Thread Summary
Graphs of torque, current, mechanical power, efficiency, and power factor versus RPM for a 5HP, 60 Hz, 440Vac, 4-pole, 3-phase induction motor can be created using equations derived from the motor's equivalent circuit. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the rotor bar design, which influences the speed-torque curve and includes key points like starting torque and pull-out torque. Users are advised to search for motor curve images and consider quadratic curve fitting for better visualization. A link to a resource for further equations and information is provided. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for specific equations and resources to accurately represent motor performance characteristics.

I need to create graphs of:

3 Phase Torque vs RPM
Current vs RPM
Mechanical Power (HP) vs RPM
Efficiency vs RPM
Power Factor vs RPM

for Slip between nearly 0 and 1 for a 5HP, 60 hz, 440Vac, 4 pole, 3 phase induction motor.

I'm having trouble finding equations online relating relating these values. Can anyone give me a pointer in the right direction as to what equations I need to start with?

Thanks

Try to google for the equvivalent circuit for induction motor. There you will have all the equations you need, presuming you have the values for the motor impedances.
 
see if this link is any help

there's no one minute answer. The size and shape of the rotor bars is designed to give the desired speed-torque curve. There are four basic curve shapes A through D depending on the nature of the load to be driven. Starting torque and pull out torque are main points of interest.

Try google 'motor curve images ' and a quadratic curve fit to one that looks appealing.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
